Use this guide to replace the DC jack in your Dell Inspiron 15 5584.
The DC jack is a piece of hardware that allows for the intake of charge to your battery, and therefore, power to the rest of your computer. If the DC jack fails, your laptop will not take charge and will eventually lose power, becoming unable to function.
Before using this guide, ensure that the issue is not your charger or wall outlet. Utilize caution when removing the DC jack as it is linked into the motherboard, which is sensitive and easy to damage. Furthermore, ensure your device's battery is drained and your device is shut off.
